Who is Lady Lex?
The moniker of Lady Lex has become legend.
Known to be forthright and verbose, Lady Lex is a Music Liver – not merely one who loves Music, but one who LIVES music. And with a substantial musical background in the classical, jazz, pop and musicology arenas, Lady Lex embraces the entire industry with open arms, positive force and excessive energy.
As The Bass is the foundation of all music, thus is The Bass the foundation of Lady Lex’s planet. Jaco Pastorius is hence her Patron God and The Bass Player lays the law. Coupled with her obssession for quality Saxophones, including Selmer MarkVi series, Selmer Super Action 80 series, Keilwerths, Yanigasawa (and their accessories: Otto Link mouthpieces *drool), Lady Lex has the range of music well covered within her mania. All Saxophone and Bass players are demi-Gods on her planet, with The Jaco reigning supreme.
As a professional musician, a music consultant, theorist and academic, the talents and skills of Lady Lex are extensive and formidable. From performing the Tchaikovsky Bb Piano Concerto in the Queensland Conservatorium Theatre to singing jazz ballads in the studio; from written critiques on Bartok’s string quartets to music analyses of the latest Drum’n’Bass tune; from written reviews on Modern Jazz quintets to feature articles on international DJs; or merely as a means of introduction to reputable musicians and names within the industry, Lady Lex is a wealth of information and experience.
Cited as being overly clinical at times, Lady Lex’s attention to musical detail is notorious. Her gift is unique: Lady Lex immediately understands the message of your music. If you are a quality music maker, be it DJ, vocalist, instrumentalist et al, you will leave an indelible imprint of your personality upon your music and your message will be received. Failure to do so, labels you immediately as a fraud. Just from hearing your music, Lady Lex knows you inside and out. From your superciliousness to your sexual position, you can hide nothing from the discerning ears of Lady Lex.
